- AFAngel FloresMar 26, 20261.0Never had issues recycling old oil until I came to this store. As soon as I walked in the staff was rolling their eyes and had a rude attitude. Be mad at your store policy, not me. Even walking out of the door they gave me a hard time for throwing the old containers into the trash. I’ll go to auto zone next time.

HOW DO BRAKES WORK?
Expand FAQ item
Brakes work by using friction to turn kinetic energy into heat. There are two designs: drum brakes (older), and disc brakes (newer). Both use hydraulic pressure to move a piston outward. In disc brakes, the piston is located inside a caliper that houses brake pads and fits over the rotor. The friction lining on the pads makes contact with the rotor to slow the vehicle. In drum brakes, the piston moves two curved shoes lined with friction material against the inside of the brake drum.
